THE Mid Cheshire FA will make presentations to two long serving and dedicated assistants of rival amateur clubs Middlewich Town and Barnton at its council meeting in January.

Annie Morris, a Seddon Streeter through and through, and Annie Bicton, a helper at Townfield Lane, are the two recipients.

The District, meanwhile, is looking for a successor to Ted Carthy as manager of the youth team.

Carthy includes a Cheshire Youth Cup triumph in his FA service and has recently stepped down as manager of Northwich Vics Reserves as well.

Anyone interested is asked to contact secretary Terry Harrop on 01829 752466 before January 15.

The District is also to launch its first ever Under 17s Cup and any team playing within the district but not in the Mid Cheshire Youth League wishing to enter can contact Bob Robinson on 01606 46592.
